Ingredients

For the chili

4 to 6 cups vegetable broth
to taste garlic powder (1 tsp to start)
to taste salt and pepper
1 lb white beans, cooked ahead (or 6 to 8 cans of mixed great northern and cannellini beans, partially drained)
16 oz fresh salsa (from the produce section)
limes or lime juice, for serving

About as simple as a fasting supper gets: beans, broth, and salsa left to simmer until they meld. The longer it sits on the stove, the better it tastes.

Method

Add all the ingredients except the limes to a stockpot.
Simmer on low for 30 to 60 minutes; longer is better. Stir occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom.
Serve with sliced limes and tortilla chips.
